Chapter 296: My Mother’s Family is Too Powerful
Inside the carriage, Daohua did not laugh and chat as usual, but leaned dejectedly on Li Zixin's shoulder.
"What's wrong with you, girl?"
Mrs. Fan looked at Daohua in surprise. Her niece was always cheerful and lively, always in a good mood wherever she went. It was rare to see her so silent like today.
Daohua sat up straight and said in a muffled voice, "I ran too fast when I was flying the kite. Now I'm a little tired and a little hungry."
Jiang immediately responded, "It's my fault. I didn't expect to be stuck in traffic for half an hour. If I knew it would delay lunch, I should have prepared some desserts."
Daohua quickly said, "Second aunt, I'm not very hungry either."
Li Zixuan looked up at Daohua, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Cousin Yiyi, did Brother Fang offend you?"
Daohua looked at Li Zixuan: "Why do you ask that, cousin Zixuan?"
Li Zixuan: "Just now when we were flying the kite, Brother Fang mentioned to me that you seemed to dislike him a little."
Fan and Jiang were surprised and were about to ask when they heard Daohua sneer.
"Did he tell me the reason?"
Li Zixuan nodded: "He said that you saw Sun Jiayue when she was pestering him."
Daohua snorted, turned around and told Fan and Jiang about Sun Jiayue feeding Fang Liangji cakes and how she bullied Fang Liangji in the pavilion.
"Aunt, Second Aunt, what do you think, should I tell about Fang Liangji?"
Jiang pulled Daohua into her arms and hugged her, saying lovingly, "Dear Daohua, thank you for standing up for your cousin Zixuan."
Their daughter was engaged to Fang Liangji. For the sake of her future well-being, even if they knew about this, they couldn't do anything extreme, unless they called off the engagement.
But how can someone cancel an engagement just after it happens?
Moreover, from all aspects, the Fang family is pretty good. If my daughter breaks off the engagement, no matter what the reason, her reputation will be ruined, and she may not be able to find a better one if she gets engaged again.
But she was also angry that Fang Liangji was let off like this.
Fortunately, there is the girl Daohua.
Daohua's identity is special. First, she is still young. Second, she is the daughter of the prefect. Even if her words are sharp and merciless, the Fang family dare not say anything, especially since it is obviously Fang Liangji's fault.
Mrs. Fan also said with a sullen face, "Daohua, your words are very good. Fang Liangji should be ashamed. He's already engaged, but he still doesn't know how to behave."
Daohua nodded in agreement, "That's right." Then she looked at Li Zixuan, "Cousin Zixuan, don't be too nice to Fang Liangji, or he'll become so carried away that he'll forget who he is."
Li Zixuan smiled and took Daohua's hand: "I know what's going on between Sun Jiayue and Brother Fang. Don't worry, I know what to do."
Daohua nodded, said nothing more, and leaned on Li Zixin's shoulder again.
Seeing her aunt and mother talking in low voices, Li Zixuan sat down next to Daohua and whispered, "Is this also the reason why you and the young prince are angry with each other?"
Daohua shook her head: "No."
Li Zixuan wanted to say something, but seeing that Daohua didn't want to say more, she had to shut up.
That afternoon, Fan returned home with Daohua and the others. Not long after they had finished lunch, the doorman came to say that Mr. Fang and Young Master Fang had come to apologize.
Fan and Jiang glanced at each other quickly, and then looked at the rice flowers at the same time.
"It came quite quickly."
If the Li family had seen this, perhaps the Fang family would not have been so proactive. However, since Daohua, the prefect's daughter, saw it, and several noblemen including the young prince were involved, the Fang family had to be cautious.
Li family main courtyard.
Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian are receiving Fang's father and son, as well as Fang Hao.
The three brothers Li Chenyi and the three brothers Yan Wenxiu were there to accompany them.
Although Yan Wenxiu had previously stopped his sister from making a big deal out of it, at this moment, when Mr. Fang brought Fang Liangji to apologize, he also expressed the Yan family's attitude in a timely manner.
"My mother likes cousin Zixuan the most. She says she is quiet and dignified, just like she was in her youth. When my cousin stayed at my house, she even asked Master Shen to teach her etiquette. Even Master Shen praised my cousin highly."
Mr. Fang listened attentively, a smile on his face, and nodded from time to time: "My wife is also very satisfied with this girl Zixuan. It is a blessing for Liangji to marry her in three lifetimes."
Yan Wenkai's words were not as tactful as Yan Wenxiu's. He walked up to Fang Liangji, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, which made him shake.
"Brother-in-law, I like to find people to compete with. I always think that there is nothing that cannot be solved with fists. If anything happens to you and cousin Zixuan in the future, just come to me." As he said, he shook his strong and powerful fist in front of Fang Liangji.
Fang Liangji endured the pain in his shoulder and nodded with a wry smile.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, my elder sister loves to play with whips, and if she whips me like this..." Yan Wenkai shuddered to himself.
Hearing this, Fang Liangji's expression became even more bitter.
At this moment, a "crack" sound was heard. Everyone turned to look and saw Yan Wentao breaking a corner of the table. But the man smiled innocently and said, "Sorry, I was just thinking about my eldest sister's anger and accidentally used too much force."
Fang Liangji's mouth suddenly opened wide.
Is this Third Master Yan warning him?
He said that if he made Miss Yan angry, he would break him like the corner of the table?
Li Xingnian and Li Xingchang watched with interest and did not stop them, allowing their two nephews to embarrass Fang Liangji.
Fang Hao was amused watching from the side. The Yan siblings are very protective of their children!
After paying apology and enduring several waves of threats, Fang Liangji, under the leadership of Master Fang, walked out of the Li family's gate with a numb look on his face.
His future wife's family was too powerful, and he felt a mountain of pressure before they even got married.
Compared to his son's dejection, Mr. Fang was very happy.
The more the Yan family values their future daughter-in-law, the more beneficial it will be for the Fang family.
Master Fang was about to lecture his son when he saw Fang Hao repeatedly looking back at the Li family: "Fifth brother, do you have anything else to say?"
Fang Hao smiled and shook his head: "I just feel that I get along well with the eldest son of the Yan family, and I am a little reluctant to leave."
Thinking of Yan Wenxiu's appearance and character, Master Fang nodded: "Young Master Yan is a good man. I heard that he is particularly knowledgeable. What a pity."
The sons of officials looked down on the daughters of their merchant families, otherwise, he would have wanted to marry his daughter Yiyun to him.
Fang Hao: "I heard they are going back to Ningmen Mansion tomorrow?"
Mr. Fang nodded: "It seems so."
Fang Hao was silent for a moment, then turned around to look at the Li family again: "What a pity!" He had thought he could see the eldest daughter of the Yan family when he came here today.
